Chapter 378 Idle King
Zhang Rou rode into Kaifeng city.

He came this time to accept inquiries from the Hook Examination Bureau, but he did not bring any accounts, only five hundred elites, all of them neatly armored, straddling tall horses, majestic and majestic.

These soldiers are his answer to Alan Daer.

Before entering the city, most of the soldiers were stationed outside the city, and Zhang Rou led the guards straight to Alanda'er's temporary camp.

On the one hand, he is extremely worried about Gou Kao, because it is also a catastrophe for the land under his rule; on the other hand, he despises Alan Daer.

Because Zhang Rou fought all the way to this position from a local hero, she made great achievements in battle.On the other hand, what kind of thing is Alan Da'er? Mengge Khan's close servant has only been in charge of the court and treasury affairs.Put it in the court of the Han family, this is a "sycophant".

Seeing each other, Alan Da'er sat upright on the seat, glanced at Zhang Rou who was wearing armor, and refused to invite him to sit, with a hunter's gaze on a beast in his eyes.

Afraid and wanting to hunt...

"I heard that Hao Jing of the Jinlianchuan shogunate was recommended to Kublai by you."

Zhang Rou was displeased, and said: "You are so bold, you dare to call the king by his name directly."

Alan Da'er's eyes were fixed, and she was also surprised by Zhang Rou's firmness.

He only knew that Zhang Rou's name meant "softness", but he didn't know that Zhang Rou's character was "De Gang", and his character fit the word better.

Shi Tianze didn't dare to contradict him like this.In terms of seniority, Zhang Rou is still inferior to Shi Tianze, there is only one reason for daring to have such a confrontation - Zhang Rou has completely surrendered to Kublai Khan.

"Don't dare?" Alan Da'er put down the milk tea in his hand heavily, and said: "Let me tell you, the reason why the Great Khan sent me to take the exam is that Kublai Khan has committed more than 120 serious crimes. Calling the king? I will, It represents the meaning of Great Khan, do you know what is a monarch and what is an elder brother?!"

Zhang Rou's momentum was still not weak, and said: "Does the Great Khan have the power to depose Monan King? If not, Monan King is still the Zongwang of the Great Mongolian Kingdom."

"Zongwang? Does the Jin family have such a Zongwang?! He governs the place with the inferior people of the Han people. Do you want the inheritance of Genghis Khan?! Hiding in Kaiping to build a city, he enjoys wealth without fighting or killing. There is still a lot of sweat in the battle, do you still have sweat in your eyes?!"

Alan Da'er has made no secret of his hostility towards Kublai Khan.

So many people have been arrested, this is a blatant encirclement and suppression of Kublai Khan.He completely disdains to cover up hypocritically and hypocritically like the Han people.

He wantonly vented his jealousy and dissatisfaction, but to see if Kublai dared to resist.

The word "weak people" came to his ears, Zhang Rou was furious, he clenched his fists tightly, the veins on his forehead popped out.

But he didn't make any big moves, just said one word at a time: "Mr. Zhang destroyed the Jin Dynasty and attacked the Song Dynasty. He made great achievements in battle. He was praised as a 'Batu' by the profuse Khan, not a 'weak people'."

"I don't care if you are weak or not, I just ask you, what about the accounts? Did you help Kublai Khan embezzle the Khan's money?"

"All the accounts of the past years have been sent to Kaiping City."

"Zhang Rou! Are you a courtier of the Great Khan or a courtier of Kublai Khan?!"

Zhang Rou threw the ground and said: "I am a subject of the Great Khan. But the Great Khan ordered the King of Monan to lead Han, and I obeyed the King of Monan under the order of the Great Khan. What's wrong?"

Alan stood up and said, "Kublai Khan will not be the general manager of the Han land soon, you have to figure out what to do..."

~~
"And then?" Shi Tianze poured Zhang Rou a glass of wine with his own hands.

Zhang Rou sighed and said: "What else can I say? I am the commander of the road, and he dare not touch me for the time being. But if King Monan is deposed, I will be liquidated sooner or later."

"Plan to follow Monan King closely?"

Zhang Rou let out a "hmm" and took a sip of the muffled wine.

He got closer to Kublai Khan, and many advisers in Kublai Khan's Jinlianchuan shogunate were recommended to Kublai Khan by Zhang Rou.In other words, they have the same political views.

And Shi Tianze was sent by Meng Ge to work with Zhao Bi after Kublai Khan appointed Zhao Bi to manage Henan.

"You still have a way out, but I don't." Zhang Judao: "I know what you want to know."

Holding the wine glass in his mouth, he pondered for a while, hesitating whether to say it or not, and finally said it.

"Not long ago, Mr. Lingchuan sent a word of mouth to me, telling me that King Monan intends to take all the family members of the palace and return to Hara and Lin to live in peace."

Shi Tianze was taken aback for a moment, and said in surprise, "What does this mean?"

Zhang Rou smiled wryly, "You're smarter than me, why can't you see it?"

"The King of Monan is... going to live idle from now on?"

"Hand over power. Let go of military power and financial power."

Shi Tianze said: "So, how dare you confront Alan Da'er face to face?"

"The King of Monan has become the King of Xian, and the Great Khan may be able to dispel his suspicions about him, and the Goukao incident may be resolved. But when the King of Monan reaches Hara and Lin, and the Great Khan's decree comes down, there will be at least two months. .In these two months, Alan Daer will persecute Hanchen more frantically..." Zhang Judao: "If I don't be tougher, he will think I'm easy to bully."

"Brother Zhang, tell me the truth, what is King Monan thinking? Are you really letting go?"

Zhang Rou put down the wine glass, hesitated, and finally said: "I don't know, but what else can I do? Who dares to resist the will of the Great Khan?"

Shi Tianze was extremely disappointed.

He was expecting Kublai Khan to show off with Meng Ge like a man, but after waiting for Zhang Rou for a few days, he got such news.

Give up everything you have been doing for many years, and take your family and go to surrender to your brother?

What a fucking bummer.

Shi Tianze raised his glass and drank a big sip of wine, only to feel that the ambition in his heart had been quenched a lot.

Some regretted rescuing Yang Guo, and because of this, Meng Geduo became suspicious.

But now, it is useless to regret, just continue to wait and see the result.

"Brother Zhang, I need your help with something."

Zhang Judao: "In the current situation, everyone should be asking for your help, but you still have something for me to do?"

"Yang Guo, Yang Zhengqing, counselor of the Henan Jinglue Mansion, was arrested not long ago. You know him too..."

Zhang Rou squinted her eyes, and said lightly: "I understand that Li Fen's generation lacks resourcefulness."

Many things, just this one sentence is enough.

Shi Tianze said: "I want to transfer Yang Guo to Shouzhou. Shouzhou is your territory, let me say hello to you in advance."

"Are you crazy? Transfer him to the border at this time? Send him away? Don't kill him if he makes an omission. How much do you think Dahan trusts you?"

Shi Tianze smiled wryly, but didn't answer right away, leaned back, leaned on the chair, and looked at the scenery outside the pavilion.

Zhang Rou was not in a hurry to ask, he wished Shi Tianze would give up this idea.

But in the end Shi Tianze still sighed: "I can only do this."

"Why?"

"Being helpless."

"What did Yang Guo use against you? Just kill him."

Shi Tianze said: "It's not that simple...you want to know about this?"

Zhang Rou hesitated.

At this moment of hesitation, Shi Tianze patted his knee and said, "Li Xia has returned to Kaifeng again."

Hearing this name, Zhang Rou's eyes were both surprised and angry.

He thought again that the Zhang family had the handle in Li Xia's hands... Wu Lang was right, if he didn't kill Li Xia at that time, there would be troubles later.

"This little beast still dares to come?"

"En." Shi Tianze said: "It's ridiculous to say that I have been forced by a young man to go to this point, I'm afraid you won't believe it."

"Letter." Zhang Rou muffled.

"There's nothing we can do with him, send him out as soon as possible."

"Don't you try another method?"

"Your Goro fought against him, what's the result? There's no need to try it at this juncture, nights are long and dreams are full."

"Yang Guo can take office in Shouzhou, but you should find your Erlang as soon as possible..." Zhang Judao: "Because, if I run into Li Xia, I will kill him."

~~
"Magistrate, it's been found out. Those who entered the city today are members of Shihou Zhang's family." Jiang Fan walked into a dilapidated house in the city, and reported in a low voice: "The group of people went to find Shi Tianze afterward."

Li Xia turned her head, looked in the dim light, and saw a rather ugly woman.

"How do you dress like this?"

Jiang Fan scratched his head shyly, the inferior pearls on his head trembled, and said: "Gu Qi is handsome, and he sneaked into a brothel in the city as a servant. I will hide with him for a few days, and then I will change my identity."

"You don't look like you, it's too easy to be recognized."

"No." Jiang Fan said: "The villain has inquired about many things in Liu Taiping's family today. Liu Taiping has a family brother who recruited servants, and Lao Zhong and Lao Wan mixed in. The villain is disabled, it's not good Go, but it’s convenient to communicate and move around in this way.”

After he finished speaking, he added another sentence.

"This city is chaotic. If you are too beautiful, it will be dangerous. Although the villain is ugly, he is safe."

"It also makes sense." Li Xia said: "Think of a way to hide Shi Zhang in Liu's house. If Shi Tianze wants to search, only the people from the examination bureau will not dare to search."

"Yes."

"Tell me about Liu Zhongzhi's movements today."

"Okay, he is also investigating Shi Zhang's whereabouts..."

Li Xia thought for a while, and then said: "In a few days, Duke Yang will go south to Shouzhou. I will be one step ahead of them and observe along the way. You stay in Kaifeng, if there is any change, cut off Shi Zhang and send it with one hand." Historian."

Jiang Fan said: "Understood, if Shi Tianze dares to cheat, let his son be like me."

"Well, after receiving my news, I will release Shi Zhang, and you will return to Qingfu County."

"Then what if they attack the county magistrate?"

"I won't give them a chance. When they arrive in Shouzhou, Jia Xianggong's escort will also arrive. There is not much danger."

"Hey, this trip to the county magistrate is very familiar."

"Go ahead, put some powder on your face, and the stubble will appear."

Jiang Fan touched his face, walked out with his head down, his broken arm was hidden in his sleeve, and a handkerchief at the cuff was shaking...

Li Xia continued to glue his beard to a bronze mirror.

Half an hour later, a middle-aged scholar with a dignified appearance walked out of the dilapidated house with steady steps...
